I've been dealing with updates to contrib/gmkdiff within groff, and there
is an issue that I could use some help with ...
Over the years, the bash-isms of the original shell script have been removed,
but the basic algorithm depends of Gnu's sed(1) and diff(1) . As I
understand it, it _might_ be possible to have autoconf/automake apply the
appropriate changes to the script to use the appropriate version of those
commands when it shows up on non-Gnu environments. Solaris is the problematic
OS of the moment, but my head swims when I ponder Makefile.am , Makefile.in ,
etc.
Is there any autoconf/automake guru out there
willing to help me get this right?
